Timing of dinner at 'Ohana?

[Cin]

I have an ADR for 'Ohana at 8pm. Wishes is scheduled at 9 and we would like to view the floating water pageant at the Poly beach. What time does that show and will we have time to finish our meal and wander out to the beach for viewing before it arrives? Will we be able to see Wishes from 'Ohana should we still be dining?

From the 1 visit to O'hana we've attended, I feel 1 hour to eat and then catch Wishes is rushing it. There's no guarantee you'll be seated on time either.

As far as catching the EWP, we've never attended it, but understand it's after Wishes. There must be someplace online that details the schedule for the EWP based on your dates?

I agree 100%. We planned our Ohana dinner so that we could watch the show during dinner and only ressie I could get was 1 hr before the show. Timing was perfect but we were seated near the back of the restaurant and the ceiling isn't very high for viewing. We were staying at the Poly for the 1st time and wouldn have preferred to watch from the beach.

Normally the EWP runs in front of the Poly at 9:05. However, it will not be run to conflict with Wishes, so if the show is at 9, the water pageant will be a few minutes later. If you watch the fireworks from the restaurant, it may be tough to make it down to the beach without missing the beginning of the EWP.

Having said that, if your reservation is for 8:00, I agree with the others that your meal will probably not be done by 9:15 anyway.
